LVR Weekly Update - Feb152026
Hello LVR families,
Each February, people across Canada participate in Black History Month events and celebrations that honour the legacy and contributions of Black people in Canada and their communities. More information can be found on the government of Canada website linked HERE.
In addition to classroom activities this month, LVR students have organized a scavenger hunt-style activity with histories of living and past Black people who have achieved substantial things posted around the school. Students are invited to pick up an entry form, find the posters around the school record the information, and submit their entry for a chance to win a prize.
In case you missed the last LVR Grad closet, check out the pictures below for the next opening. Also, on February 20th, a seamstress will be available to make any alterations needed.
Upcoming Athletic events:
-Sr. Girl basketball zones in Creston on Feb 12/13
-Sr. Boys basketball zones Feb.20/21 in Invermere.
